Armored Kill Available Now for Battlefield 3 Premium Members Only

If Back to Karkand didn't feel new enough for you, and Close Quarters felt a little too cramped, than Armored Kill might be just what the Battlefield 3 doctor ordered. Released today for BF3 Premium members, and available for $15 to non-Premium players in two weeks, the new expansion adds "four huge maps" and a new game mode centered around the "all-out vehicle warfare" this new content has been preaching. Here's a snippet from the official press release:

Starting today, all Battlefield 3 Premium members will be able to download the latest digital expansion pack, Battlefield 3: Armored Kill. Showcasing the signature all-out vehicular warfare the Battlefield series is known for, Battlefield 3: Armored Kill delivers six new vehicles for players to control. Gamers will jump in the seat of tanks, ATV's, mobile artillery and an aerial gunship that lets gamers rain death from above as they traverse across four huge maps ranging from the snow-capped peaks of Alborz Mountains to the arid vistas of Bandar Desert – the largest multiplayer map in Battlefield history. Also making its debut in Battlefield 3: Armored Kill is Tank Superiority, a dangerously intense gameplay mode where two opposing tank platoons must battle it out for control of a single location on the map until one team has fully bled their opponent's respawn tickets dry.
